Trying to make a decision for corporate use of this 2 Nas devices

Hi, I want to max upgrade the RAM in my DS718+ running DSM 7.1-42661 Update, stock 2GB ram. I have seen reports of it unofficially supporting 2x8GB (16GB) crucial memory. I wish to run VM for home assistant (and future proof it).

Should I purchase the unofficial memory or would it be better to get Synology's memory (I don't mind if it is slightly more expensive but if synology is particular about the RAM it accepts would it be better to get 2x8GB RAM1600DDR3L (though, also not officially supported for DS718+).

Many thanks for your advice.

Trying to get my hands on a brand new DS920+ and was wondering if I can put 4x Seagate EXOS X16 14TB ST14000NM001G SATA CMR 3.5" Enterprise HDD OEM on it?

Synology website isn't clear about compatibility of this drive.

It doesn't say that it's compatible with DS920+ nor it says that it's incompatible!??!?

Any thoughts?

Hi Guys, I have an numbustor as5304t nas, unfortunatly the 2 onboard lan ports do not work anymore due to a lightining strike.
I now have to use a usb to ethernet adaptor instead. I have been hit by the dead bolt attack and all my data has been trashed.
luckly i have backups so no problem there. MY issue is this. Asustor Control Center cant see my nas because Im using the USB
Adaptors not the onboard Nics and so I can Rebuild my nas. If I had a hdd image of a drive that has been initalised by ADM I
could get back to the adm inialisation page and rebuild my nas but i dont. Do you have any other Ideas i could try to initalise
my disk without the use of the onboard Lan ports?

Your help would be much appreciated

Regards

Mr Henry

I recently returned from a trip and loaded about 30,000 photos to a shared volume. The NAS was off for 2 weeks before I did this

Settings are btrfs, shr, currently 52% used of 13.96 TB. Adding photos may have nothing to do with it.

For the last day and a half I have been getting the error

The system failed to perform scheduled snapshot task on ENC because previous scheduled snapshot task is still running. Please check the Log page of Snapshot Replication for detailed information.

ENC is an encrypted shared folder, but it seems to indicate the issue is with a previous snapshot.

The NAS will not shut down from the android DS Finder app. I have not done the DSM 7.2 update, and the only recent update was to Node.js but I noticed V12 & V18 are both running

I'd appreciate any advice on what to do, or which task to shut down

Best regards

Thinking of using a NAS for a feature film shooting on ARRI Raw, then editing online using proxies. Basically store all large raw files on NAS until final export.

Largely based upon your content, and my desire to consolidate photos/videos/documents from numerous hard drives, I dove into my first NAS today (Amazon Prime Day). I ended up with the Synology DS923+ and two 8TB WD Red Plus HDD (16TB total). I have ~1.5TB of existing files and my network is Gigabit. Another use case is that I'd like to serve pictures of our kids from the NAS to wifi digital picture frames at grandparent's houses, which are out of state. Any tips on how to do that in DSM? I'd also like pics from our iPhone's to be backed up to the NAS automatically (instead of paying for Apple's iCloud). Is that possible or recommended with DSM? Lastly, we have a couple of dozen blu-rays and DVDs that we'd like to add to the NAS so the my son, who's a high school teacher, can access for his classroom. Is it possible to do that? Finally, I didn't buy the M.2 SSDs for this unit. Can I add them at anytime and will they help my use cases? Thanks for all that you do!

First off I love your videos and you've convinced me to buy this NAS. My idea would be to run this as a virtual machine and do video editing as well as a running Plex.

My question is should I buy the I9 or the I7. I'm familiar with all the additional features included in the I9 and am predisposed to buying the best of anything. That being said am I wasting money?

My video editing is mostly 4k drone.

I'm also thinking of running 8tb ironwolf HDD in raid 10 plus 2 WD black.2Tb M.2 SSD in raid 1 cache and OS for cyberlink powerdirexto suite.

What do you think. I7 or i9

Your youtube videos are brilliant!!

I have a synology DS120j with a 4 TB WD hard drive. I primarily use the device as a centralized backup file storage.

I am contemplating on purchasing a Synology DS224+ with 6 GB RAM in which I wish to setup 1-2 VMs and perhaps a Plex Server. Do you have any feedback and/or demonstrations on how the VMs are setup on a Synology. It would be helpful. I have not explored the VPN or WordPress options on the NAS yet.

I would appreciate you advise.

I have a QNAP TS-251 2-bay NAS that no longer recognizes the 2nd HDD, even though the drive is fine. Apparently, this is a common problem based on forums. I would like to replace the NAS with a new QNAP and I'm leaning toward purchasing the TS-464 4-bay.
I want to know if I'm able to migrate the existing WD30EFRX (3TB) drives to the new NAS and combine them with new WD80EFZZ (8TB) drives. Or if it is not recommended that I combine WD Red drives vintage 2015 with new WD Red Plus drives. Is there anything I should be aware of?
Thanks.
